That Day When I Got Married to My Boss at the Blind Date

How shameless!

Josie shot him a look that was meant to be reproachful, yet her eyes, dancing with a blend of shyness and apprehension, unwittingly conveyed more allure than admonition at that instant, exuding an irresistible charm.

As she withdrew her hand, an impromptu query crossed her mind. “Has that car accident left any lasting effects on your heart?”

At this juncture, Dexter’s attention appeared to slightly diminish. His response, delivered in a tone straddling the line between sincerity and jest, was ambiguous, “No, the impact you’ve had on it is far more significant.”

Unable to contain herself, Josie lightly slapped him on his body, her action more playful than punitive. In her movement, she inadvertently grazed his delicate area.

Dexter’s brow knitted, a quiet hiss escaping him. He grabbed her hand again, his voice a low caution, “Be careful with your movements.”

The realization of her accidental contact sent a flush of warmth across Josie. She knew she couldn’t linger any longer, “I really need to leave now!”

She hastened out of the car, the cool embrace of the night air alleviating the heat on her cheeks as she made her exit.

Raising her head, she found herself locking eyes with the few individuals who had been awaiting her return. She halted, momentarily frozen, before a wave of embarrassment overcame her, wishing she could vanish into thin air.

D*mn it, Dexter!
